Great Thanksgiving getaway
This was the perfect place for our family to stay during Thanksgiving! Coming from Florida, it was such a a wonderful experience to be surrounded by the beauty and serenity of Bryce Resort. The house was the perfect size for our group of 8; having bedrooms both upstairs and downstairs gave everyone enough personal space and the common areas were well equipped. Traveling with three small kids (ages 1, 3, and 5) is no easy task but OROS had everything we needed from kids utensils, to books, toys, and more. There was a wide variety of activities and experiences conveniently located that we all enjoyed. We will never forget our time here and highly recommend it to anyone considering a mountain getaway.

Quiet, beautiful views, mountain air, wooded lot. Baby friendly (9 month old) with fun (wooded lot, game room and 2 TVs) for our 8 yo and 11 yo. Burgers and hotdogs on the grill and even built 2 camp fires for s'mores. Took a few walks along many of the rarely used streets - there are several available 2-mile loops for some moderate exercise.

Holiday ski weekend
The house was very clean with nice upgrades and fully stocked with everything one could need. There was plenty of room for our teens to have their own space away from the adults. The owner was very friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend this property.

Weekend getaway
Very nice place with a well-stocked kitchen with appliances and plates. We had eight adults and we’re plenty comfortable in the large living space. Loved the screened porch and the outside space with a fire. Only negatives were the spider webs and the rats nest inside the grill cover (but it is, after all, in the woods) and the misunderstanding of the futon as part of the bunk bed and not a separate sleeping area.

Great comfortable place, great location
Really enjoyed this place. Was quiet and very roomy. Description and photos were accurate. Had a large group and never felt crowded. Two large living rooms allowed everyone to spread out. Also, nice easy drive down to the ski resort (5 min or less as long as didn't miss the turns) so made it really easy to get back and fourth. Would definitely stay here again.

Great Property, great stay
The house was amazing, there was so much for our party of 10 to have all the room we needed! The kids (and adults) loved the play room specifically the arcade machine. Alex and Christine were great at communicating with us and making our stay great. The proximity to Bryce Resort was a huge plus so we could go skiing. Would 100% recommend and we can't wait to visit again during the summer time.

Great location and very quiet.
We loved the house. It was perfect for our family and the gameroom was a big sucess. We were however a little dismayed that the house was not very clean when we got there. Whoever the owners have cleaning the home should know that the floors were dirty and there was dog hair on the furniture especially downstairs and under the beds. Also, there was only 2 wash cloths provided for a family of 8. Overall we loved our stay and hope stay again.

Summer Getaway
This is our second stay at Alex and Christine's mountain retreat. We love the open concept and space available for our family of six. The kids loved the downstairs game room and big screen tv, while my wife and I could enjoy the upstairs in peace and quiet. There are many fun activities less than 30 minutes way ranging from viewing the caverns to seeing the tops of many mountain summits. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and can't wait to return.
